Some online help topics have color in the examples of the displayed application.
If you want to print this type of topic on a monochrome printer, some
information may not print because of certain colors. Instead, you should print the
topic from the PDF (portable document format) file that corresponds to the online
help. You can find the file in the Documents directory on the Optional Applications Software on Windows-Based Oscilloscopes CD-ROM. The
application menus in the PDF file are gray scale and all the information can be

Online help uses the following conventions:
When steps require a sequence of selections using the application interface,
the ">" delimiter marks each transition between a menu and an option. For
example, File > Minimize.

Requirements and Restrictions
Do not change the oscilloscope settings when the test is running. If you change
the settings when the test is running, the application may give abnormal test
results.
Prerequisites
TekVisa must be installed in the oscilloscope
A TDS7000/CSA7000/TDS6000 series oscilloscope with Firmware version
2.2.0 or later
TDSET3 Printed Help Document
A TDS7000B/CSA7000B oscilloscope with Firmware version 3.0.0 or later.
A TDS5000B series oscilloscope with Firmware version 2.0.0 or later.
A TDS6000B series ocilloscope with Firmware version 4.0.1 or later.
A TDS6000C series oscilloscope with Firmware version 5.0.0 or later.

Getting Started
For better and reliable results
Prior to running any test, calibrate the probes, and oscilloscope for Signal
1
Path Compensation
Cable length between the DUT and the test fixture should not be more than
two inches
Use 500 waveforms for averaging 1000BASE-T
Use 64 waveforms for averaging, and 200000 samples for mask testing
10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX wherever applicable
Use 48 waveforms for averaging 10BASE-T harmonics
If the signal is not connected and the noise level is below 50 mV, the
application detects and gives a message as invalid signal
1
To calibrate an oscilloscope, select Utilities > Instrument Calibration in the
oscilloscope menu bar and select the Calibrate button.
Note: If you do not install the latest version (Version 2.2.0 or above) of TDS7000
or CSA7000 Firmware, the application will not test the mask related parameters.
Remember
About the Test Fixture
TDS5032B and TDS5052B are two-channel oscilloscopes. The drop-down
list for any Data, Ref, or Math sources displays only two channels.
For 1000BASE-T Template test, the TDS5000B series oscilloscope displays
the horizontal scale in 4 ns.
The two-channel oscilloscopes do not support the 1000BASE-T Jitter Slave
Filtered test.
The TDS6000B and TDS7000B series oscilloscope do not support Flash
Hits.
The TF-GBE test fixture, designed by Tektronix and manufactured and
distributed by Crescent Heart Software, facilitates 1000BASE-T, 100BASE-TX
and 10BASE-T Ethernet compliance testing when used with an appropriate
TDS5000, TDS6000, TDS7000 or CSA7000 Series oscilloscope and Tektronix
TDSET3 Ethernet Compliance Test Software.

4. If you access oscilloscope functions, the oscilloscope display appears in full
screen and the TDSET3 application recedes to the background.
5. To return to the TDSET3 application, select the APP button in the
oscilloscope display.
Minimizing and Maximizing the Application
The application appears even when you minimize the oscilloscope.
To minimize the application, select File > Minimize. The TDSET3 window
minimizes to the Windows taskbar and upper half screen has the
oscilloscope display and lower half of the screen has the desktop
To maximize the application, select Ethernet Compliance Test Software in
the Windows taskbar.
To hide the application, select the Hide button or select File > Hide.
The Report Generator module windows are independent of the TDSET3
application. Select the Minimize button on the right hand corner of the relevant
report generator window to minimize it.
Note: If you select Hide button, the TDSET3 window goes to the background and
the Oscilloscope display resizes to the whole screen.
Returning to the Application
When you access oscilloscope functions, the oscilloscope fills the display. You
can access oscilloscope functions in the following ways:

Exiting the Application
Getting Started
Choose the Menu bar or the Toolbar mode on the oscilloscope and access
the menus.
Press front-panel buttons.
To return to the application, select the APP button on the top right of the
oscilloscope display.
To exit the application, do the following:
Select File > Exit or select the Exit button .
On exiting the application a message box "Do you want to restore the
oscilloscope settings to their state prior to starting this application?"
appears.
Select Yes, No, or Cancel. Yes is selected by default.
Note: Using other methods to exit the application results in abnormal
termination of the application.

Note: The AWG waveforms are available in
C:\TekApplications\TDSET3\AWGWaveforms. Some of the AWG models do not
support the .set file for automatic settings. Refer to the ReadMe.txt file for
instructions to make those settings manually. In particular, ensure that the AWG clock frequency is set to 250 MHz. This file is available in the
corresponding AWG waveform file folder. You can automate the AWG to transfer
files and settings as described in Automate AWG.
